GM plants, conceptual artwork
Genetically modified plants, conceptual artwork. Plant stems and leaves forming structures that echo DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) double helices. This could represent genetically modified (GM) plants. Genetic modification of plants involves altering their DNA, the chemical that encodes every cells structure, function and behaviour, to produce desirable characteristics (such as disease resistance). It is controversial whether GM foods are safe to eat and what their environmental effects will be

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning conceptual artwork of genetically modified (GM) plants. The image depicts plant stems and leaves intricately arranged to form structures that resemble the iconic double helices of DNA, representing the genetic modification process. Genetic engineering involves altering the DNA of plants, which serves as the blueprint for every cell's structure, function, and behavior. By manipulating this chemical code, scientists aim to create desirable characteristics in plants such as disease resistance. However, GM foods remain a subject of controversy regarding their safety for consumption and potential environmental impacts. This thought-provoking artwork raises questions about the implications of genetic modification on our food supply and ecosystem. The artistic composition beautifully combines elements from nature with scientific concepts. It highlights the intricate relationship between biology and technology while emphasizing the significance of genetics in shaping our world. Through this visually striking representation, Science Photo Library invites viewers to ponder upon both the potential benefits and ethical concerns associated with genetically modified organisms.
